Bought the mix, loved it at home — wish I could say the same about the restaurant. I’d heard a lot about this place and had even tried their pancake mix at home, which I really liked. So I had high hopes. We made a weekday brunch reservation so it wasn’t crowded, which was nice. The menu is on your phone and there’s a good amount of options. We ordered the plain pancakes, the grilled cheese (recommended by friend), the avocado toast, and the chicken and waffles. Honestly? Such a disappointment. The pancakes I made at home with their own mix were so much better than what they served us. The ones at the restaurant were dry and completely tasteless — I was shocked. Overcooked maybe, or just… that’s how they come? Either way, really strange. The rest of the food was just mid. I know there’s a big hype around this place, but nothing justified it for us — especially at that price point.

Great brunch spot and the food is always comforting! It’s usually a less wait if you’re a larger party. We’ve been multiple times now and we’ve waited no more than 5 minutes when we have larger parties of 6 or more. Wait times can get longer if you’re a group of 2 or 3. Their fried chicken is some of the best I’ve had. The pancakes are always fluffy and very filling. I prefer the sourdough pancakes only because they’re thinner and not as heavy. They have great fresh oj as well. The vibe inside is always fun and good energy in the mornings.

Came here for brunch on a busy Saturday morning with the lines out the door but we somehow, some way, ended up being seated pretty quickly as a group of six. This neighborhood staple, American flare, super popular brunch spot is all about cooking scratch made with a very homey feel. Their James Beard pancakes are a must. They’re extra fluffy and filling, so sharing is highly encouraged. Be sure to order their flaky biscuits served with fresh butter and jam, you will thank me later. Also, their little coffee mugs are tbe CUTEST! We also ordered a little something savory and got the huevos rancheros (minus the eggs). Soooo flavorful and delicious! Loved this spot, the energy, the food and the great company we were with =) Also, we sat in the same area as The Devil Wears Prada, like what???

I wanted to try the hyped Bubby’s pancakes that everyone talks about. We went on a Sunday around 2 PM and had to wait about 40 minutes, which is probably normal for a popular brunch spot in NYC on the weekend. The staff was very friendly and the interior was cute. However, our table was next to the window and it was quite cold there. The food was good, but not something I would say is significantly better than other good brunch places in NYC. We ordered the green omelette with potatoes, fries, and apple chicken sausage, as well as the pancakes with banana, berries, and Nutella. Overall, it’s a solid brunch spot, but given all the hype, I expected a bit more.

These might be the BEST pancakes I've ever had in nyc! So thick, fluffy but still flavorful! The eggs and sausage were also good! 10/10 worth the wait! Also the photo booth downstairs is so vintage and cute!!
